It follows a family that has been haunted by an evil spirit for years. The danger intensifies when one of the children questions if the evil is real … or imagined.
Kevin Coughlin & Ryan Grassby wrote the script. Dan Cohen will also produce.
And while we’re here, Mark Romanek’s One Hour Photo is a must-see. Robin Williams stars as a perfectionist who runs a one-hour photo in a small mall. He’s generous to his regular customers, including a typical family. Over the years, he’s seen their family grow through their photos. But when he sees evidence of the father being unfaithful, coupled with a threat to his position, his precarious mental state tips over the edge.
The MPAA slapped the 2001 thriller with an R-rating for sexual content and language. The film sports a 82% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes. The Critics Consensus reads: Robin Williams is very effective in this creepy, well-shot thriller.
Stream the killer thriller on Hulu.
